I'll wait til the next oil change and hope for the best. What a PIA setup for checking it.Checking the tranny fluid level is a bit of a PIA. First it needs to be at operating temperature (205-215F Use a non contact temp probe to check.) and the truck needs to be level. The dipstick plug is on the passenger side towards the front about 2-3 inches away from the exhaust pipe. Be aware the dipstick plug is likely going to be very tight and will take some leverage to break it loose.
This video is for a AU market model ranger but it's basically the same thing.
Once you get the dipstick plug out use this chart to see if it's correctly filled.
If I remember correctly when I checked mine it was just barely above 6. Many of the Mustang guys with the same transmission as us have reported all sorts of issues with the 10R80 with many reporting they were underfilled from the factory.
